MFTools is an add-on tool for Revit developed with a focus on utilizing rather than creating BIM models.
"BIM" is a hot topic in the construction industry, but there are instances in construction management where even excellent BIM models are not being utilized. MFTools aims to be a tool that encourages greater use of such BIM models and is developed as a Revit add-on focused on leveraging BIM models. ~Why we developed MFTools~ ▶ If you can grasp quantities, you can also understand labor costs. Understanding quantities becomes an absolute weapon in management. If you can grasp labor costs in advance, it becomes easier to plan efficient personnel allocation and material delivery. ▶ Quantity understanding leads to better schedule management. By grasping quantities, schedule management becomes significantly easier. At the same time, it also facilitates the consideration of schedule shortening. You can aim for a schedule management approach that avoids unnecessary strain and waste. ▶ Towards accurate quality management. Creating high-quality buildings requires tremendous effort. To achieve this, it is essential for managers to have various information in advance, which serves as a shortcut to completing a high-quality building.

Applications/Examples of results
First, we will start by providing an expanded function for concrete placement planning and automatic dimension arrangement, and afterwards, we will enhance features (including new functions) to ensure that administrators have the necessary information in advance for accurate quality management. In MFTools 3.0, enhancements (including new functions) have been made to the BIM data management tool for BIM managers, and in MFTools 3.1, the icons have been refreshed for better clarity. Additionally, further enhancements have been made to the BIM data management tool for BIM managers. New features include excavation planning, a room generator, and a dedicated aggregation tool function. Furthermore, it includes an output function that allows color settings applied with view filters to be expressed in Navisworks as they are. Other improvements include performance enhancements and support for multiple selections in the quick selection tool, among other minor improvements.
